lil p is in a big city, which is always a strange sensation.
i hope if you are reading this, you are well and satisfied. i wish i was better at keeping this thing updated and staying in touch with all of you, but i guess i can't deny who i am at this moment, and who i am, is not. i seem to be better at the explosive vomit type of blogs.

since i last typed some words here, i've been travelling homeless/vagabond style with mah lover

and it's been interesting, amazing, and challenging, all rolled together into one mess of an awesome experience. i've been trying to catalog as much as possible because it truly has been something else. we've been more or less living in our van and it's a very creative lifestyle haha. we left the 9000 something elevation of fraser, colorado at the end of april (it was still snowing then, fuckkkkkk that- very beautiful though--

in favor of some van-camping in denver where the weather was far more agreeable.

haha life on the road. additionally, i treated myself to a new tattoo

from one of my favorite childhood illustrators and am so happy with it turned out. sam at freaky's in denver=thumb's up.

we rocked the homeless life off of colfax in denver for a month ish, then made the trip back east for my boyfriend's brother's wedding and my sister's high school graduation. that was a beautiful trip, even though kansas was pretty flat and boring, still very beautiful.

we made it a point to stop at as many oddities as we could,
including this giant egg. totally worth a view if you're in the neighborhood haha.
travelling is attempting to teach me more about how it's all about the journey.

once back in ohio, i did some shooting for sg- i shot something magical and whimsical with Sunshine that i cant' wait to share

and shot something pretty sexual and a lil out of character with Alissa that i also can't wait to show you guys

dreads have been fun to have, but also at times they drive me completely insane. a few nights ago i was considering cutting them out. BUT i won't. I like them most of the time....kind of like travelling, it's all about the journey right ? i think that's part of the reason why i chose to do this to my hair, because it's a work in progress. i also like how it's a confession of imperfection, a statement of being a work in progress inwardly. at least that's how i feel about it. it is only hair after all--

additionally while in ohio, i got my first tattoo touched up--

by ryan forrider in hilliard, ohio and it looks so much more vibrant now. i take better care of my tattoos now than i did when i was 19/20, all those years ago haha---

thank you all for birthday wishes and a few gifts !

dgmac gifted me an awesome sketchbook and pen which have gotten used and have inspired me to write and draw more and Tulip6 gifted me this fabulous instax camera

which has been a ridiculous amount of fun

and i foresee myself using a lot of film. thank you Kiley for also giving me film <3 <3

on my birthday, i rung in my 25th year of breathing by taking a hit of The strongest lsd i've ever had with my boy and a few really great friends. skinnydipping in a pool, fire and led-hooping, and staying up until i don't know when were probably some of the best things i could've done to celebrate. truly magical and full of many twistyturny inspirational thoughts and conclusions.

lately i've been thinking a lot about who i am, what i'm doing, where i'm going
i guess these are questions you ask yourself when you're travelling aimlessly and aimlessly travelling-
at times i feel i'm having some sort of identity crisis or something, but i guess it can only lead somewhere productive---
i've noticed the things i have issues with, the things that need work-
learn to enjoy the journey and not be so set at where you're going
also to love yourself
and good lord, reeeelaaaaax woman !
nothing is wrong

see it all, take it all in

so here we are-

visiting Chicago, hoping to street perform across the northwest area in an effort to replenish our gas tank-- the route seems to travel through iowa, south Dakota, Montana (!!!! Really excited for this one!) and ending in Portland. We both hear so much about that city and figure, if all the people that know and love you say, "hey, check out portland, you'd really like it." it's at least worth a pass through. Not sure about what's after that, but I do have some surprises ; ] and we'll see where that road leads.

On the first of august, my first set in two years will be in review XD shot by Milloux this past February in la before I ventured to Colorado, I named it "rumspringa" because I felt it was appropriate after the stifling environment I was in for the months before.

So keep your eyes peeled for your lil p <3

And I do believe it's time to close-
I feel this blog is more disoriented than anything i've posted in a while haha, so enjoy the strands of thought-vomit i've left for you.
And to the folks that saw my empty blog post before this--i'm posting in a place where wifi is touchy and i'm technologically inept at times : D

amsterdam is beautiful- and one of those places you can cram in doing lots of great stuff, or just chill, and the openness of it, of the people is just amazing. . . also, they have the van gogh museum, which i can pretty much just spend most of a DAY in. . .
